If we look at the current position in the league, Girona is playing great. I think they are ambitious for the championship because we saw that they played successfully in the match they beat Barcelona. If they win their next matches, they can start singing championship songs and believe in them in the second half of the season. A great year for Girona fans.
No one thought before that Girona would be seen at the top of the La Liga standings and even now they are at the top of the standings, initially many people thought it was luck for Girona but gradually they proved that their position and what they achieved was not just because of luck. However, the Girona team's performance has been really strong this season.

Before closing this half of the season, Girona will face 2 fierce matches against Betis and Atletico Madrid. Indeed, Girona still has a chance to win, but it will not be easy, Betis and Atletico are 2 top teams who also have strong strengths this season.

They have found clubs below the first ten quite easygoing and able to manuever, I want to see how they go with the rest of the clubs above. Real Betis would be tomorrow and Atletico Madrid would definitely be next year fixture. A win or draw would be great against these both clubs, I know they won't be losing the game.

Their progress, growth and development has literally made everyone perplexed, I really want to see them winning the tittle or at least finish in amongst the first four clubs hwre in La Liga.
Pep Guardiola's brother should also have influence on the group since he is club president.

then what about Manchester City, they are becoming more and more worrying day by day and are very far from their usual performance like at the start of the season, they are losing a lot of points, and yesterday's match they only got one point against Crystal Palace because the match ended in a draw, Guardiola's squad couldn't added more goals, and ended with a score of 2-2.

but it is reported that KDB and Erling Haaland are ready to return to the field because they can be said to have recovered from their injuries, and is it possible that with this Manchester City can return to the top of the standings?
Man City's condition without Haaland and De Bruyne is quite worrying. Especially after Haaland was absent for several weeks after suffering a minor injury. But I am sure that when Haaland and De Bruyne return to playing and recover from injuries, Man City will gradually improve and return to better performance. But I'm not too sure whether Man City will return to the top of the standings. Because if Liverpool and Arsenal continue to get good results for the rest of this season then both teams will definitely be able to maintain their position between 2nd and 1st place. Unless Arsenal and Liverpool start to lose their consistency this season then maybe Man City can return to the top standings.

They're reported to be back already running on the field, they was also together with the rest of the squad who won three goals to nothing last night. I don't know if they'll be both ready for the next Premier League fixture Pep Guardiola and the medical team would be incharge of accessing the situation. Haven't heard nothing from Jeremy Doku returning these are key members projecting the attacking plans of Pep Guardiola.... The return of these lads would be bloody.

Returning to the top would be a tough task. Manchester United legend who said Arsenal would bottle the league has also said they're most likely to challenge Manchester City for the tittle this season. I'd love that anyways. Manchester City to the top is gon be hard as hell I must say..

I meant Coppa Italia.

Napoli lost by 4-0, Incredible result

Napoli is knockout from the Coppa Italia tonight, a huge loss no Napoli fan would pick interest to talk about. Everyone have their view about the match. When we all thought the new manager, Walter Mazzarri is able to handle new positions, then we the worst happens. How cam the coach and the players explain this defeats to the fans? It's clearly poor defend wall formed and conceding 4 goals was never the expectation from anyone watching or streaming the match. Napoli was spurned 4 nil by Frosinone at the Diego Maradona stadium. How come Parthenopeans conceded 4 goals straight in the second half against the visitors? It's embarrassing scores to handle by an elite Seria A club.

You obviously didn't see that game nor bother to check the players used to play that game last night. If you did, expecting a good win from that Napoli squad last night woulda been the least thing to do.
Napoli loss won't be accepted by the fans though, I won't blame the manager too much, since he's been knocked out already, he should now shift focus to the Seria A Scudetto Competition and the Champions League if he can get a positive progress forward.

That game must have gone sideways for lots for fans considering how they won the game against Cagliari at home over the weekend. Bit then, this ain't a good way to approach games. I'm quite disappointed with Walter Mazzari. Shvt!!!

It’s time for them to work with the players they have, it’s clear pissing money up the wall without a plan has not served them well. Pochettino needs to earn his corn.
Todd Boehly prolly doesn't understand these things, he basically thinks all he has to do is spend money and then Chelsea become automatically successful, the investments that the club has made in the last three transfer windows have been massive, but despite that Chelsea are still struggling so much and they are 10th position in the EPL table.

I don't know if Pochettino can take Chelsea out of this situation, but the club can at least let him try. Pochettino needs to have a stronger influence in the dressing room, he also has to identify the players he needs if they are going to spend in January, when a manager selects a player he wants, it is because they see that the player can help his team play in the way he wants. Poch needs more freedom and Todd should give him space.

Splashing cash without a good purpose and goal to achieve is such a stupid thing to see happening right now with Todd Boehly and Chelsea. He can't be doing all of these transfer alone. He should get a sporting directors and Co's that understands the job ( Europeans )
If he does that, then they can start accessing and bringing in players that will work in line with the plans of the club.

The players are too small and has no experience, they should be mixed up with experience so they can learn and complement themselves.
( Have you forgotten Makalele and John Mikel Obi? One was experienced and the other was young and stronger learning from experience) Todd Boehly should learn otherwise it'll take long for them to bounce back.

Lastly, I must say Mauricio Pochetino is not that man for Chelsea Football Club.

I see Real Madrid a bit above Bayern Munich. Real Madrid has some room for improvement while they have a decent level all the time, whereas Bayern Munich has some total failures. If they have one of those in the Champions League, it would be game over for them.
Bayern Munich got Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur but they can not dominate Bundesliga like they usually do. They did not spend big transfer money to buy Kane only to win Bundesliga but fail to dominate their domestic league is one of signals that their quality has problems in this season and this can cost them in Champions League when knock out phase is already in.

Real Madrid look to have a balanced squad between attacking and defense, old and young players but the recent serious injury of David Alaba is very unexpected and it might harm their strength in coming months.

Quote
But Manchester City isn't as stable as well. They are way more vulnerable than they have been last season. This season they have played several games where they lost dominance during the game.
I still consider Manchester City as the best competitor in Champions League even they shown some issues in Premier League. They have a deepest squad that can be so helpful for them in a long season. I also know in history there is only one club that can defend their Champions League crown, Real Madrid and Manchester City will be a second club can achieve it if they succeed in this season.

They still have the January Transfer Window to bring in players they feel like would work best for the plans of the club. They signed Harry Kane because they had that role vacant and it was the right call to make for both club and player. Good to see it got finalized.
They'll dominate the Bundesliga when they finally decide to repair the midfied, they have done that with the defense but not with the midfielder's, they need to bring in players who are hungry for success.

Real Madrid in between lacks a good natural goal scorer. In the Champions League they meed one to help them, Jude Bellingham can not do that all alone, I have this feeling they're not going emerge winners. They have survived with the players around, they should make a good decision with signing a backup during the transfer window.

With Kelvin De Bruyne back from Injury, we will see how they approach all the games they're innit. One thing to see them work on would be the defense, because they be conceding too much.

Chelsea finally made it to the semifinals after winning the match against Newcastle united. Playing at home was not an advantage for Chelsea because they conceded early to Wilson but Mudryk was able to revive Chelsea hopes after managing to equalize in the final minutes of the match. I think winning on penalties was lucky for them because playing in normal time they were able to put a lot of pressure on Newcastle united but couldn't score a goal to win in normal half time.
Both of Chelsea and Newcastle are lucky, Newcastle can score a goal because of Badiashile's mistake, while Chelsea can score a goal because of Trippier's mistake. But Chelsea is luckier than Newcastle, so they able to beat Newcastle.

We will see Liverpool vs West Ham in the next match, this should be Liverpool's game.

Assuming Liverpool will win, then the qualified teams are Middlesbrough, Fulham, Chelsea and Liverpool. My prediction, it's either Chelsea or Liverpool will get the trophy.

Stuff's like this happens, you can be high quality and still be the cause to that own goal and faulty pass, he remains one important player for Newcastle, I don't know why such important player can not be backed whenever he makes such mistakes.

West Ham trashed Wolverampton with three goals to nothing, and Lucas Paqueta gave the hat trick of assist in that game. So beautiful to see how quick the name Kudus has adapted to the Premier League and West Ham. He's now a core member of that club. Two solid goals. I'm sure they should give Liverpool problems.

Meanwhile, Liverpool didn't play so we'll against Manchester United, not even get a goal in that game with how poor Manchester United has been. They won't score more than three goals in this game tonight.

The group stage of the UEFA Champions League competition is over and Europe's biggest club competition will make a return in February next year which will give Real Madrid enough time to fight for the top spot of the Spanish La Liga. Girona has surprisingly been the most consistent team in the league this season even when they don't have a much quality players like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and are very determined to finish the season with the Spanish La Liga title.

Real Madrid's only problem since the start of the season is the fact that they failed to sign a recognized top striker last summer after their former captain Karim Benzema left the club but with the formation that's been adopted by the club manager Carlo Ancelotti, I'm very optimistic that the Spanish giants are gonna reclaim top spot before February that the UEFA Champions League competition will return. Jude Bellingham who has been the club's most important player since the start of the season isn't an injury prone player and doesn't look like who's going to suffer fatique anytime soon. By the time the UCL returns next year, the favourites to win the Spanish La Liga title might be narrowed down to two or at maximum three clubs and I'm very optimistic that Real Madrid will be one of them.
Yes, Real Madrid are one team that will be wanting to secure the league this season and yes, they are having a difficult time this season due to injuries but with the break from the UCL it’ll give them a good run for the league title and help them secure their spot well on top of the league, yes these  Girona is one team trailing them but I think they won’t have the strength to match Real Madrid especially in terms of quality players and squad depth.

 The La Liga big boys didn’t get a striker during summer but they got Jude who has stood up as a striker and an attacking midfielder when called upon amd he’s being doing the job so well, With Real Madrid maintaining winning streaks I think they’ll be taking the league home and would have a huge success in the UCL when it resumes.

This is not the first time they've had important players out Injured, but they still found ways to win games. Vinicius Junior, Camavinga and Tchouameni all was out Injured and Real Madrid survived without them. Indeed Carlo Ancellotti is a great coach, managing the players within that are present is something everyone can't do. They're likely to win the league alongside Girona who have been stubborn with them form.

They should make a surprise move for Icardi. That man has been scoring a lot of goals and this is not the first time I've seen that happening. Since Joselu hasn't stepped up his game, they need to find another so they can do excellently great during the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola already won the treble for Manchester United, if he really wants a break and he discovered that his tactics aren't effective, then, it's okay to.take a break with the coaching system for a while.
He's repeatedly drawn games I felt like he should have won honestly. But this years Premier League Competition? I would love to see Arsenal winning. Manchester City seems to have something going wrong. Last season even without Kevin De Bruyne, they made sure to still win games.

I think what you mean here is Manchester City.

In the last few matches City have not had Haaland and this has had a big influence on their goal conversion. I saw in the last 3 matches where City dominated so much but they missed many opportunities to score goals. Maybe there is no finisher like Haaland at City at the moment. This is homework that Pep Guardiola must complete. I agree with you that for now it's good for Pep to rest after last year they worked very hard to win the treble winner.

Exactly!! Thank You for the correction.

They have seen themselves conceding too many goals in the last six to seven games in the Premier League Competition they have played. I didn't see the game against Crystal Palace but one would know they've been playing around with the defense.
The absence of Erling Haaland and his chances creator Kevin De Bruyne is also out Injured and not ready to play, it has thus affected them in ways they don't quite understand. The Champions League draws out already, I'll go see who they be up against. This is the best timing to see Jack Grealish showing his worth, he's busy playing around like a drunk monk.
1609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 18, 2023, 08:22:10 AM
I confess that I am surprised by the result of Lille's game against PSG, despite Lille being a very difficult opponent because in the last few games they have not lost in any game and had many draws, I still expected that PSG would be able to come away with a victory In that game, PSG had difficulty scoring a goal, thanks to the penalty they benefited from which allowed them to score a goal, if there hadn't been that penalty, then PSG would have lost in that game, but I have to congratulate them because PSG were very well in defense, they only conceded 1 goal in this game and that is something positive, it shows that their defense was good

with this draw PSG remains at the top of the table and with a comfortable advantage, I sincerely doubt very much that they will lose this number one position until the end of the league, in my opinion PSG have no opponents in league1 so they will win league1 again in this one season also mainly because the other teams have lost, Nice and Monaco, which could be teams that would cause some threat to PSG, had defeats, which only benefited PSG even more. I still can't understand why the other Ligue 1 teams can't have strong squads in their teams to the point where they can compete at the same level as PSG
PSG lost another chances to grab three points. Victory almost sealed for Paris Saint-Germain but got denied in the last minutes of injury time, with Lille player, Jonathan David hitting hard in the 18 yard box to equalize the scores. Luis Enrique and his supporters becomes more surprised because no one expected Lille to share points with elite club like PSG. Football is changing every season, we seem not to understand the path its flowing and everyone should be careful on how to deal with the club's performance, and not to be too sure of betting on your favorites clubs.

They would still go ahead to win the League 1 at the end of the season, the League 1 has never been the Issue with Paris Saint Germans.
Though this is not a squad that would win them this league easily, they should be happy they still have Kylian Mbappe around because, this is not the kind of squad with so much inconsistency you'd want Kylian Mbappe a player with purpose and desire to play with. I saw that this game would result to this draw but didn't get to stake it. The defenders lacked communication at the very last minutes of the game.

Gennaro Gattuso and his lads got to achieve three points yet again. Per Emerick Aubameyang wasn't amongst the goalscorers but je contributed to one of them goals. He now has seven assist in League 1 and five goals for Marseille.

Pep is working to sort this problem out but it can happen once the club will able to recruit a good defender for manchester city. City was not playing like last season. Anyone who regularly watched the gameplay of city would be understand it.
Manchester city may also out from UCL in upcoming stage. It's likely city will get a strong opponent.
Yes, that's what happens, Guardiola should realize that there are shortcomings in the front line as well as in their back line which is not good and a bit weak so they often concede goals. I think if this continues it will make it difficult for Manchester City to catch up to win the EPL title. in this season because the points gap is quite large now from several top clubs in the EPL.

The domestic league is not very good and I am sure that they will not play better in the UCL either, we know that in group G they did not find difficult opponents there so qualifying is very easy for them, but this is where the real test is when they qualify for group 1 in the next round of the round of 16 their ability will be questioned whether they as defending champions will make it to the final whereas in the domestic league they played very badly.

Do you know that in the last six Premier League games, they have conceded a total of twelve league goals. The defense is something that needs to be looked at closey. Has anyone monitored Gvardiol Josko? Why do I feel like he's a big flop for Manchester City this season?
They have some difficulty with scoring goals because Erling Haaland can't create for himself, he needs the support of the midfielder's to support him.

How they play in the Premier League will definitely reflect on how they play in the Champions League. They have time though to fix themselves successfully in the Champions League. They will resume that Competition next year. Before the start, Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland should be back completely ready.

No goal was happening during the match and this is very disappointed result for me to be honest. Liverpool has got everything needed to win against manchester united started from the ball possession combined with the total goal attempts.
This is very bad result for liverpool. I thought that liverpool would score like the last season but i was wrong. Liverpool was missing an opportunity to win against manchester united. Liverpool looked like a strong club but MU was using everything to defense from any attack by liverpool.
Liverpool totally dominated the match and they wasted so many opportunities to beat Manchester United. Klopp was right, as he said before the match, such big win like the past season, won't occur too often. He was right about that but this draw is certainly a disappointed result for him and Liverpool, they did wanted to win it to continue a title race.

Manchester United were very luckily to get one point from Liverpool and their midfield and attacking systems look very useless in this match. Only defense efforts and luckiness helped them to get one point.

Mark my words.

This will the last year of Guardiola at Manchester City-

He will take a break after imho.
Pep is smart and if we see a down performance of Manchester City, Pep understands about his squad better than us. He is like Zidane, will take a break after a massive success and will not want to take risk to damage his career and previous success.

He has one advantage to leave, his contract will be expired after this season and it pluses with current issues, down performances of Manchester City, he has no reason to stay in the club.

Salvaging a point out of that game was the goal, and the key towards achieving that was to remain compact and stick to the defense, pay good attention and watch out for mistakes made by the midfielder's. Mc Tominay, Kobbie Mainoo and Sofyan Amrabat did very well. They did all they could do to avoid been red carded in that game. They remained focused to the key and it opened and worked for them. Only if Manchester United had taken the chances they had.

Pep Guardiola already won the treble for Manchester United, if he really wants a break and he discovered that his tactics aren't effective, then, it's okay to.take a break with the coaching system for a while.

No doubt Lazio is a strong team whenever they are playing at home and probably would want to engage Inter on a final draw if inter didn't persist in winning the match, But with the strength I have seen in the Inter Milan team lately, I doubt if Lazio would be able to denied them that 3 points which will help them stand some points clear ahead of their major league team contender Juventus whom they are currently gapping with just a point.
I agree, Lazio is a strong team whether playing at home or away. This team finished as the runner-up of Serie A in the last season. However, they are no longer as strong as previous season. In the current match, Lazio clearly showed their domination playing at home, they are leading in the ball possession and total number of shots. However, Inter Milan knows how to play effectively, they could score 1 goal although they don't dominate the match. I'm also very sure that Inter Milan is capable to get 3 points from Lazio home. Inter Milan has great attackers, they are quite productive in scoring goals. I guess the match will end with 2-0, Inter Milan scored 2 goals.  Wink
Inter Milan won two goals to nol, as you predicted, scored by Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram. In this game, Inter's attackers show their clinical finishings which makes them a scary team to face. This also suggests that Lazio's defense struggles against the attacking prowess of Inter Milan. Simone Inzaghi really has built a a strong team that shows his great capability to manage a big team to compete at highest level.

While Lazio may have a strong history and home performance, the argument suggests that Inter Milan's effectiveness in scoring goals, coupled with their tactical prowess from Inzaghi, gives them the upper hand in this game. This implies that Inter Milan is not only a worthy competitor but also has the potential to secure a win away from home. Inter Milan is really the most favorite team to win Scudetto this season.

I was quite occupied with loads but whenever I set my eyes on the screen believe me this lads are always on the run counter attacking Lazio with dangerous attacks. They're also good defending side yesterday, at least I got to see them attacking and defending at same time. Ciro Immobile had a chance which came into the eighteen yard box to head into goal but big man screwed things up
I honestly didn't know Anautrovic the Australian has been around for Inter Milan until yesterday, they really have that depth in the attack.
That defender gave a back pass and wasn't watching to observe and scan around that Larturo Martinez was making that runs to track the ball.  Thurams goal was assisted by the Australian, they really played a good game. Immediately the point gap moves to ten points between them and Juventus, they may likely win the Scudetto Competition.

Atalanta today at home after trashing Polish side with four goals during the Europa League Competition to finally finish at the top of the group with fourteen points. They should do justice tonight.

Incredible performance by Real Madrid with scoring 4 goals tonight

A good performance from Real Madrid to send them back to the top of league standings atleast until Giro na plays tomorrow.  Loosing David Alaba is a huge blow and Real Madrid will definitely be trying to get in a temporal replacement for the talisman

Good season so far for real Madrid as they look to win the la Liga title this season


The Brahim Diaz goal was mind blowing, I was excited seeing how he dealt with Villarreal players from the midfied down to the defense.
Girona tonight, who are pretty impressive against sides below the tenth position. Alaves should be no exception to this cause. Girona to gain hold of the top have just got to win tonight.

Top man David Alaba. My prayers and thoughts are with him. Sad to see such a news, missing the rest of the season sucks will Real Madrid be able to win the Champions League this way?
Carlo Ancellotti has also said that using Aurelien Tchouameni at the base of the defense is the back up plan they have. I really can day how solid he can be back there but a loan move for a top defender for the next six months would be a great idea.

Great job ManU, I knew they'd do something. For the first time this season, they did something good. 34 shots and no goal for Liverpool, actually you deserve no points. Grin
Aston Villa made a comeback but that's okay, Arsenal will go on as planned. It's nice to see Jesus and Havertz score again. Arsenal need them. Big game next week, hopefully it'll be alright.

They fought hard to safe Erik Ten Hag's job. Indeed the players want him or to stay. We have to give that credit today for remaining compact and hit Liverpool with counter attacking football from the wings, it did work but United didn't utilize them chances ( Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund ) Thanks to Andrea Onana, Rapheal Varane in the absence of Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Diego Dalot. They all contributed positively to this game

Dalot should have controlled his emotions, it made him seem like he's no player with enough discipline. Micheal Oliver shouldn't have reacted same way, the best he could do was to calm the game down. Poor red card given to Dalot.

Kai Havertz at most, 4 goals in 7 games is a great one. I'm wishing him all the best of luck. He's been shutting lots of critic's out there. I'd love to see Arsenal winning the Premier League, failure to do so and they'll never come that close again even in the next ten years. Unai Emery be blooming, short of words to splash the top man for Villa.

Actually, Barcelona needed Harry Kane. They had to pay a big transfer fee to get him from Bayern Munich, and once again, financial difficulties were the obstacle for Barcelona. If Barcelona had not had financial difficulties, they would still be one of the best in the world today, but despite the situation, I think they are fighting great.

Barcelona need Harry Kane when they have Robert Lewandoski? What are you writing? Bayern Munich just brought in Harry Kane this season from Tottenham Hotspur and you expect a club who is not stable financially to make moves for Harry Kane? Believe me Harry Kane is happy with his teammates and will work hard to make sure they all fight and win the Champions League at the end of the season.
Bayern Munich are not opened towards selling him off, that's something that can't happen this season not even next season.
Fighting but still not enough evidence to show that they're fighting, immediately the points from the league leaders and Barcelona gets to ten points, then it'll ne difficult to chase for the La Liga Competition.

Whoever advice Jude Bellingham to go too Real Madrid made a great decision. ( I also advocated for him to swing that way ) Watching him play motivates me and I feel like I was the one doing all of that. Great game today. That was a perfect combination leading to a perfect header from him tonight.

PSG's mentality in the Champions League always changes every season. This season PSG has good players with great talent, but their performances are still not very impressive. Of course it is still possible to hope that PSG can improve its performance this season with the depth of its squad, but in my opinion everything is very difficult.

So far I don't think PSG is one of the teams that can win the title in the near future, but that doesn't mean they can't achieve it. PSG still has to try hard and make good use of the market to bring in players who are truly quality and fit their needs, meaning not expensive players but whose game is just enough. They need an experienced squad, especially in central midfield and that must be prioritized.

They don't have players that are special players, it'll take some time and seasons before Luis Enrique can assemble that kind of a squad to compete for the Champions League. I do wish at times if he was the coach around when they had players like Lionel Messi, Neymar Junior and also Kylian Mbappe. I know what he would achieve with these lads. They can successfully win the League 1 Championship bit not the Champions League.

They're not ready to win the Champions League, they don't look really good and ready. With Kylian Mbappe also willing to go at the end of the season, that's another weak link you feel? They'll be knocked out of the Champions League in the next round because they'll definitely meet a stronger side!

It's Real Madrid 2:0 Villarreal at half-time. Guess who is in the score list yet again?  Cheesy
Until today, Villarreal were the only team to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabéu this year. I thought it was going to be a very hard match, but to me this looks done and dusted by half-time.
However, Real Madrid's center back injury woes continue, with Alaba being the latest casualty. Real Madrid now has only two fit center backs (Rüdiger and Nacho) with all the other 4 being injured.

I knew it was going to be a win for Real Madrid, Villarreal is not in shape enough to stop Madrid at the Bernabeu this season, but I didn't expect it to be so easy for Madrid.
It's like Villarreal came just to lose. They're playing like they want to concede. They've been horrible. Although my bet is on Real Madrid, I expected to see more fights from Villarreal. They look lost already.

Madrid has done well so far despite their injuries. Even without Vinicius they still managed to win. They try to not drop too many points and they've been doing well. Slowly they're putting more gap between them and Barcelona who look lost too so far this season.

Funny ASF!! The could round the goals up to make it five tonight. I think it's time to substute Jude Bellingham, Carlo Ancellotti should do that because the lad be using his emotions to play. Not that he's playing poorly but just to protect him from getting Injured. All four goals tonight are beautiful goals. I love that one touch pass from Luka Modric to Jude Bellingham. He'll be definitely missed when he leaves Real Madrid. He has won it all including the Ballon d'or.

They shouldn't be too excited, Girona are right behind them, tomorrow if everything goes smoothly, they'll go back to the top of the league.
The Nico brothers did well this week, I saw the highlights of the game only to see that beautiful goal from the Junior Nico. Playing this way will earn him a spot in the upcoming Euro's.

I was thinking about the game between Manchester United vs Liverpool, I can't see anything exciting in that game and I was expecting a massive demolition on Man UTD but it was as if the Liverpool side wasn't up to the task to get the job done.
With the way Liverpool played today I don't see them as title contenders but a team that's just playing to make the top 4.
I would give a thumbs up to Manchester United because despite the injuries and shortage of players they still got a point in that fixture, and I just wish this would give them a morela booster to get all 3 point in their next game.

Virgil Van Dirk wouldn't have said crap if Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund converted the chances they had today. Yes Liverpool was better and you could see them intensity but Manchester United defense did a good job to hold them down. One thing I noticed was that the both wings didn't work like they normally do. It was only Mo Salah working hard to cut in ad make dangerous runs for Liverpool. The name Luiz Diaz was nowhere to be found in this game.

The players played for the manager and for the club,  I wasn't expecting nothing, Manchester losing wouldn't even move me. West Ham up next on Saturday, that should be tough since West Ham has also seen bsome recent development and improvements. Three goals won against Wolverampton today, Yes?!

Currently bookies are showing Bayern Munich as a bigger favourite than Real Madrid for the Champions League title. However I'm thinking exactly the opposite here. It seems like they are missing an important point while determining the biggest favourites of the title. They are overlooking the fact that Real Madrid have won this title the most and by far compared to their latest competitor in this.

In addition Real Madrid became champions here 5 times in the last 10 seasons. Isn't this record worth being shown as the second biggest favourite at least?  Grin

I can understand them about making Manchester City the biggest favourite. It is obvious that they are the strongest team in the competition right now.

Making Manchester City the favorites? Can they see how they've been playing so far this season? Manchester City has lost some quality players and failed to replace them very well. Having Pep Guardiola is already a plus for Manchester City you can't write them off. They don't have that moral they had last season. It's not about how far though, it's how well. Manchester City can do the impossible.

Is it about winning 5 times? For me I'll agree because they don't have a proper number nine. Joselu is not the man to win them the Champions League. Jude Bellingham doing well as a false nine but how well will he be able to do that? The Central Forward position is something they need to consider.

Bayern Munich I can agree easily, they have a good goal scoring player ( Harry Kane. ²⁰ League goals already for the club ). I expect them to make some solid additional players though whenever the transfer window begins in the next ¹⁴ Days.

Leverkusen another important 3 points today and they will maintain the 1st position for another week even if Bayern is about to win as well but they way Leverkusen keeps playing is so superb to watch but also to place a bet  on them to score at least 2 goals almost every game which is insane.

Next week Leverkusen will face Bochum and this looks like an easy victory for them. Meanwhile , Bayern will face Wolfsburg who is a team who rarely makes draw this season and that means they play for victory or defeat which might take Bayern by surprise a bit.

They should easily defeat Bochuk who are also strugglers in the Bundesliga League Competition. They make it look like it's one easy task to carry out. Like I've always said, after all these hardwork and winning rate and conversions. They really deserve to be leaders of the Bundesliga League Competition at the end of the season. Xabi Alonso also deserves it for his profile. Doing such a great job with a club who didn't spend too much during the transfer window.

Harry Kane has just scored twenty league goals tonight. He be doing too much. One can say that he's the best buy across all European Competitions, Jude Bellingham be doing well also but Harry Kane, personally has done better. Two goals against Stuggart to help Bayern Munich win. They also be having a game to play. They win that one and will be right behind Bayern Leverkusen to leapfrog em for any drop in form.
